Who Should Be the King and Queen of America?

In today’s New York Times, op-ed columnist Nicholas Kristof presents a rather compelling case for crowning a king and queen of America. Apart from serving as a most excellent vehicle for reality-TV programming, this would also allow boring old Barack Obama to grapple with the nation’s boring old problems without being forced to emote on command or engage State Dinner party crashers in hand-to-hand combat. Quoth the Kristof, “You can preside over America or you can address its problems, but it’s difficult to find time to do both.”

Vanity Fair has always had a soft spot for monarchs, and all this got us thinking: Who should be the king and queen of America? An informal internal poll produced some surprising responses. Who gets your vote (not that you would necessarily get a vote)?
